Elena's POV
Julian clicked the tablet on the table, and the speaker came to life.
> "Your father was a fool, Elena. He could've sold to me and saved himself the downfall. But he thought he was untouchable. I'm finishing what he started—only without the sentiment."
One of the board members stiffened.
> "Amira's loyal. Not to you, of course. To power. To whoever lets her tear you down. And as long as she has me behind her, you don't stand a chance."
Another shifted. Kellerman's lips thinned.
"Every voice in that recording belongs to your chosen savior," I said. "He's not here to save this company. He's here to gut it."
The room went still.
"No investor in their right mind will stand by you after this goes public," Julian added, calm and lethal. "Roth's out. Elena takes her father's place back—legally, publicly, and permanently. Or we leak everything."
"You're bluffing," Kellerman muttered.
Julian nodded once toward the door.
